Re: UDMA66 boot problem/HPT370
To install debian potato on an abit kt7-raid motherboard: (well, this is what I roughly did) 1 Connect your disk to the first ide controller, not to the HTP370 controller 2 I used the debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/ 2.2.20.0.1-2000-12-03/images-1.44/idepci disk set 3 boot and install as usual 4 download and unpack kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.18.tar.gz 5 download and apply patch kernel/people/hedrick/ ide.2.2.18.1209.patch.gz 6 make menuconfig -> Block devices: [*]Generic PCI IDE chipset support ... [*] HPT366 chipset support Don't know about theese two but they seem to work for me [*]HPT366 Fast Interrupt support (WIP) [*]HPT366 mode three unsupported (WIP) (Note! this driver has no raid support, you just get the udma100 support and two more controllers, only connect discs to hpt controller) and whatever else you want in the kernel 7 make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install 8 cp arch/.../bzImage System.map to /boot 9 add new image to lilo.conf with root=/dev/hdexx instead of hda 10 run lilo 11 change hda to hde in /etc/fstab 12 shutdown -h now 13 poweroff 14 move disk cable to first HPT370 connector 15 boot Regards, /Karl --- Karl HammarAspö Data [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lilla Aspö 2340 +46 173 140 57Networks S-742 94 Östhammar +46 70 511 97 84 Computers Sweden Consulting --- -- From: "Alexander Sawallich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: UDMA66 boot problem/HPT370 Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 21:46:46 +0100 > When I try installing Debian 2.2r2 on my HPT370 Raid/UDMA100 controller, with > the UDMA66 boot floppies, the system halts during the boot process. ... ... > Abit KT7-Raid Motherboard ... > Alexander -- From: Jon Branch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: UDMA66 boot problem/HPT370 Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 02:01:37 -0500 (EST) > Hi Alexander > > Sorry no solution from me.

The cure was to disable the framebuffer, and then to set up lilo to tell the kernel to disable the fb. How to disable the fb is documented on the bf. But it was not obvoius what caused the blank screen, since I had nothing which told me about any errors, except a blank screen. Is the fb really needed for installation, or could it just be removed without side effects ?
